John Wood Campbell, Jr (born June 8, 1910, died July 11, 1971) often wrote under the pen name of Don A. Stuart. His two most famous stories were Twilight and Who Goes There? (which was twice made into Hollywood movies, The Thing from Another World and The Thing). John sold his first story, When the Atoms Failed, in 1930, and by 1938 was editor of the highly influential Science Fiction magazine Astounding Science-Fiction (of which he remained editor for 34 years). During his reign as editor, John ushered in the "Golden Age" of Science fiction, by starting the careers of many famous Science Fiction writers, and by forever changing the way Science Fiction is written, by demanding that Science Fiction writers understand science and understand people.
